ZM, you may want to hold off on giving the stuff away in case you change your mind. I'd box them up and store them until after the holidays. You don't have to make that decision now. Who knows? After the unfortunate holiday returns, you might discover a new friend or two waiting just for you.

Oh, Zoe, I'm so sorry! I know the feeling of looking around and seeing a beloved pet's presence, even though they are no longer there. They leave their footprints on our hearts forever.

That's true. My LW didn't play with many of her toys EVER, so I only kept the ones she played with and donated the rest as she got a little older. When she passed away, I packed up her favorite babies and other mementos. I ended up with Sassy, and started from scratch with toys for her. Which aren't cheap Somehow she prefers plastics from the recycling bin to everything else, however

Thanks everyone. It's been a hard weekend, no ball of fur sleeping on DH's lap, or shooting down the stairs, looking for treats when we sit down to watch TV.

"Happiness and depression are both feelings, just like joy and anger. It's not feelings that give us problems. It's what we do with them that makes the difference."

"When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didn't understand life."

We had a toast to Mr. Monk tonight, with a glass of 21 yo Bushmills. I'm sure if he had smelled my glass, he would have pulled his head back, while crinkling his nose and squeezing his eyes shut, then he would have asked for some fish juice (the fishy water from a can of salmon or tuna) in a bowl.

Sorry for your loss, but it should be easy enough to find another long haired basement cat. It took me a month to find my most recent basement cat, and 6 months to find a replacement for avatar cat (and actually somebody else found him for me).
